Neither, I recognize that there will be more people out there that cannot stand my music than there are people that would like it, that's obvious to me. I know it's too slow, boring and drawn out, ect, etc, etc. It's designed to be like that, that's how I like it. I get high and listen to music, I enjoy that, actually there's very little music I listen to straight. Getting high is a part of my every day existence, so this doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I'd recommend getting high to listen to most of my music. [Laughs]

he's hardly monolithic! and he started making music in 1983, so i don't get the post-hardcore part either. maybe i am just musunderstanding. or don't know what post-hardcore means.

not getting the use of the term monolithic. i met him and he wasn't black, rectangular or emitting a low, ominous hum.

2. Post-hardcore means nothing. It's an umbrella term for a billion kinds of music. and yes, i realize he's been around since the early 80s.
3. I said hymnal. Obviously there was a little bit of humor in there. Just like when I said "post-hardcore" ... it was a small joke
lighten up!

Oh, and Brad, you still need to tell me about TEH LUSK. What was the plan when you all got together? How did you write such an unbelievable album? Will I ever get that title-track outta my head? Etc.

This is probably the answer, and I wish a few more bands sounded like they were bloody enjoying themselves, mucking about, exploring what they could do, chasing a spider around the studio and sticking a fucked-up drum loop on top of it for 8.5 minutes...
And don't you mean 'some stupid Tool dough and some stupid Guns And Roses dough'? Seriously, the chances against that record being made increase exponentially when you take BOTH of 'em into account!
If you still get in touch with the other two, tell 'em I said 'Free Mars' (the title-track itself) is 'THE perfect 6-minute pop song'. 'Cos it is.

I like the fact that the members of Lusk played different instruments on practically every song, btw. 'membramophones', wtf?

I've played it loud, I've played it quiet. I've played it stoned, I've played it straight. I have even, as grimly fiendish suggests upthread, had a guy come over and tune my ears, heart and soul, but maybe because I wouldn't let him near my balls, this album remains duller than shit for me. Sorry.

those 2 last tracks from the japanese release has turned into an EP. "sun down/sun rise". and it's good, more ambient like.
― Zeno, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link
It was always going to be a 12" ep. But there was delays and it surfaced on the japanese 2cd 1st.
There's also a couple of ep's later this year to come. A split with Eluvium I think on Hydrahead/TRL.

I liked the Jarboe album! You're right that it does go downhill after the first couple tracks, but "sinister weather channel music" is a pretty heavy claim.
